Page 178 - ... kilogramme, a weight sufficient to straighten the wire without occasioning any undue strain. The wire was charged with hydrogen by making it the negative electrode of a small Bunsen's battery consisting of two cells, each of half a litre in capacity. The positive electrode was a thick platinum wire placed side by side with the palladium wire, and extending the whole length of the latter, within a tall jar filled with dilute sulphuric acid. The palladium wire had, in consequence, hydrogen carried...

Page 178 - The palladium wire had, in consequence, hydrogen carried to its surface for a period of one and a half hour. A longer exposure was found not to add sensibly to the charge of hydrogen acquired by the wire. The wire was again measured and the increase in length noted. Finally the wire, being dried with a cloth, was divided at the marks, and the charged portion heated in a long narrow glass tube kept vacuous by a Sprengel aspirator. The whole occluded hydrogen was thus collected and measured; its volume...
Page 450 - From a solution of the hydrochlorate in water, bicarbonate of sodium precipitates a snow-white non-crystalline mass, which speedily turns green on the surface by exposure to air, and is therefore difficult to obtain dry in a state of purity. This precipitate is the base itself. " It hence appears that the new base is simply formed from morphia by the abstraction of the elements of water.

The zirconia thus obtained is first calcined, then moistened, and submitted in moulds to the action of a press with or without the intervention of agglutinant substances, such as borax, boracic acid, or clay. The sticks, cylinders, discs, or other forms thus agglomerated, are brought to a high temperature, and thus receive a kind of tempering or preparing, the effect of which is to increase their density and molecular compactness. I can also compress in moulds shaped for the purpose...
Page 154 - Then add the wax gradually till the liquid again thickens. Remove from the fire and add the acid, stirring briskly till thoroughly mixed. Cover up close, and set aside to allow all the residual litharge to settle ; then pour off the fluid, and spread upon calico to the proper thickness. The plaster made in this way can be spread by machine and kept rolled in stock, and if in a well-fitting tin canister, will retain its virtues for any length of time.
Page 179 - ... proving that this contraction of the wire is in length only. The result is the converse of extension by wiredrawing. The retraction of the wire is possibly due to an effect of wire-drawing, in leaving the particles of metal in a state of unequal tension, a tension which is excessive in the direction of the length of the wire.
